"Congress has specified that a Federal Reserve Bank must hold collateral equal in value to the Federal Reserve notes that the Bank receives. This collateral is chiefly gold certificates and United States securities. This provides backing for the note issue."

“Actually, it's a bit bigger than $700 billion. The version of the bill that passed Friday contains some expensive add-ons, including a provision that keeps the alternative minimum tax (AMT) from encroaching upon the middle class in 2008, clean-energy tax incentives, disaster relief and the extension of expiring tax cuts for businesses and individuals. It also expands government insurance on bank deposits from $100,000 to $250,000 through 2009.”

The Federal government often legislates by dictate and threat. They threaten the loss of federal funding if the speed limit isn't within their dictates...they threaten loss of federal funding if the local schools don't comply with federal education dictates..etc., etc...now this kind of threat...ultimately, governing by threat, intimidation, coercion, bribery, payoff,....etc....seems to be the American Way..
